Electric Audio
At four years old, he was a celebrity. They kept him in a glass case for everyone to see, and they paraded him through the streets during holidays and funerals. Nothing seemed to get to him. He was always smiling, always happy, always at play. The people loved him. He was the perfect child. And …

The only difference is that in his dreams he does not run towards them, but runs away.

Heroes
They plaster their heroes onto the walls and billboards so no one ever forgets them. They will forever be larger than life, a paragon of what’s possible, a reminder of your own failures. They look down upon us as all heroes should, and they have reached a level of immortality we all dream of. But …
Patriotism
Nothing stirs the heart in a patriot like the site of her nation’s flag blowing agains the blue sky. This work by @thebeautythatstillremains is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.5 China Mainland License.
